Cisco 7204 VXR load time

[frsisqo14344]

Hi All,

is 633+ seconds (approximately 10 minutes) load time normal for a Cisco 7204 router? I find that it takes forever for the router to do :Self decompressing the image". I tried the latest IOS and tried different bootloaders but it doesnt seem improve it?

Depends on the hardware.  What hardware and cards do you have?  What is your flash and DRAM size?
